Chapter 18
The Call
Tagon's POV
I finished up the repairs and spent time alone in my room. It was bigger than anything I was ever used to and yet the other members said it was small. They were a bunch of entitled assholes who did nothing but harass me daily. From being shoved, tripped, and made to almost fail tasks assigned to me. Oh, the comments I had heard about my body. The things these men claimed they would do to a sixteen-year-old were downright disgusting. I would have told someone higher ranking, but I doubt anything would have happened. People have gotten away with beating others. Besides this pack would soon be nothing but a memory. I had longed for this pack to be eradicated for as long as I could remember. I just need to tell him that it is time to strike. I could finally have my longed-for revenge and be happy in life.
Incoming Call - Unknown
I rush to answer the phone. A wicked smirk painted across my face as I looked at the unknown caller ID. I knew it was him. He had it so it always showed unknown. So secretive. Not that I cared since I knew his name and where to find him.
Tagon: "Hello" the words rolled off my tongue like a summer breeze against the begging skin.
Unknown: "What do you want slut?" His words are as cold as ever.
He knew being this way hurt me and yet he didn’t care. I may not be mature enough to know who my mate was, but I know I love him. I didn’t care about the age gap. I didn’t care about anything. He saved me and turned me into the best spy he could. Though over those years and before I came to this place, I fell madly in love with him. The one thing I could never have. The only person I would gladly die for. If only he felt the same way. Yet he never would because I would never be her. I would simply have to kill what he wanted and take my place beside him once and for all.
Tagon: "It's time to attack." It was easy to tell how eager I was to rid the world of this pack.
Unknown: "No. It's too early." He was annoyed, yet I just wanted to push his buttons more.
Tagon: "Fine then the new alphas will take over." A pep in my voice I never do would be sure to catch his attention.
Unknown: "New alphas?" It was as if I could see the confused look on his face. Confusion on what exactly took place since my last check-in.
Tagon: "Alpha Knight's daughter Katie Knight had been promised an arranged marriage. She will wed to complete a pack merger.” Sweet revenge was all it felt like as I so carelessly told him.
Unknown: "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" I jerked the phone from my ear as his scream threatened to shatter my eardrum with rage.
Just as I thought he was calm I placed the phone to my ear for him to yell some more. I was cursed, trashed, told how I would be raped over and over, and so much more. Yet I still loved him, and he was too blinded by her to see. To fixate on something he would never have, could never have. I just made it outside as his threats ended. The cool night air was enough to make me wish I had a jacket; however, this conversation was all but done.
Tagon:"She will die by my hands before you ever see her." Joy. Power. Control. That’s how I felt telling him how she’d die. Since she dared steal the love of my life.
Unknown: "You won't be using my wolves. You won't touch her. Not a single hair on her head." The desperation was pathetic. If only I got that type of reaction.
Tagon: "Don't be fooled. Not all of your wolves are yours. Some have a new master." I had an ace in my sleeve. A group of wolves ready to fight without rules. Without having to watch who they kill.
Unknown: "The wolves who dared follow you are dead slut.” Panic. He found them and they are gone. Yet I need this pack to suffer.
Tagon: "Please just send wolves here. Kill them. I'll spare her. Just kill this pack!" I begged and pleaded for this pack to suffer as I had.
A scream echoed around me. I lost all sense of my surroundings. I was so focused on getting revenge I forgot where I was. It was too late; my scream had echoed into the distance. A scream filled with sadness and rage, demanding this pack be killed.
Unknown: "You fool-"
Click.
The call ended with what I assumed to be a grin on his face. I was a thorn in his side. A girl stuck in love who had been used as a pawn in a twisted game. Yet there I stood in the cold as I heard the patrol rush towards me. I could try and run but I doubt I would make it. Or I could stand and fight just to be killed. Run. I shifted without a care in the world and darted towards the tree line. Maybe if I was lucky, I could weasel my way out of the territory. Ah, luck.
Something I never had. My breath was knocked out of me as a wolf collided against my back. All I saw before me was a thick weeping willow as my body crashed into it, and my head bounced off the trunk. The last thing I remember was the patrol as they stared at me. My body shifted back, and my eyes went black.
